Mirage IIIc vs SU 7 Fitter
The first encounter with the SU 7 was in the Six day war in June 1967.
The mirage pilots were briefed to take caution when dealimg with the big fighter.
The SU 7 came to bomb targets in Sinai peninsula and when mirage fighters scrambled to interceot them they opened the big AL 7 engine afterburner and headed back to Egypt direction West. The mirages started the chase full afterburner over the Sinai dunes ,
Slowly the mirage close the gap at around 700 knots supersonic very low a small burst of 30 mm guns blow up the SU 7 and thats the typical end of another one.
The SU 7 is from the Israeli airforce magazine.
